White rims get dirty real fast. I drove around for couple hours after I put them on, and the inside ring of the rims turn dark gray already.

I agree that the white rims looks kinda awkward with this blue color. After I put them on, I was like "hmmm... I think I like the stock rims better". But they grow on you after a while, now I think they look fine.

As s4awd said, if the car is lowered, the rims will look much better. But I'm afriad I would mess up the handling and the ride by lowering it.

 

I was worried too when I installed my TEINS and were unhappy with them until I adjusted them to my liking. I can tell you now that the handling with the TEIN flexs is amazing. Better than the stock because they eliminate body roll. You'll have more fun with the TEINs than stock BUT, you won't be able to find the perfect balance between comfort and handling that the stock ones provide. My 18x8.5 inch wheels with my S03's dull the steering a bit but the coilvers make up for it by providing a flatter ride. I only drive my car on weekends and my roads are nice so they are fabulous.

 

Cool! Thanks for the info man
By the way, how much did those TEINs cost you?

 

$1580 i think. Def under $1600

 

I have a blue evo also but i dont know what color rims i want. I was thinking bronze but too STi looking? I was also thinking white but now i dont know. I want the rims s4awd has or white volk te37's.

Reheat you should of have got them bigger or maybe lower the car . Do you have knock-off Enkeis because on s4awd's rims the say Enkei. and look much better.

 

I think the white on blue is the best looking combo so far, especially with the Red calipers!

My Yellow VII with Black rims looks a little better - sideways around the andretti hairpin, in GT3 heh.

But for real world those look great!

 

Yeah, I probably should have gone with 18s, but I wanted to reuse those Advan tires.

Those are real Enkei rims, I just didn't put the Enkei stickers on them. Might look better with the stickers on.

 

Oo those are stickers? I thought they came like that. Well s4awd's WRC's look diffrent other than the stickers.

 

Mister2zx3, you're right, most rims look better in real world than in picture. Plus, my car is super dirty from all the rain in the pass few day, thus creating a strong contrast to those white rims. I'll take some more pictures after I wash it this weekend.

 

Reheat -

Any chance you're selling your stock Enkei rims at all? Or have you already gotten rid of them are or you saving them as a backup set? Lemme know, since I'm looking for another set of stock rims.. thanks.

 

Hmmm didn't I tell you to get the 18's? . Just kidding. The 17's are fine. You could have 20's on there and they would still look weird if you don't lower it. Trust me, mine did. I was like "ew" After you lower your car, it's gonna look damn good. Oh and by the way. Definately put on the stickers. The first day i didn't have them on but after I put them on, it looked alot better. The rims look kinda cheesy without them. Plus, they match your car

 

Heres maybe what you want to accomplish. I'm not the best photochopper but here it goes. I think it looks better like this tho. BTW I used KKs pic.

 

White doesn't really look that good to me on the Blue EVO. Looks spectacular on s4awd's white one. Might work on a red car, would definitely work wiith red if the car had white accent colors.

Hey, it's all about personal taste with these kind of choices and if ReHeat is satisfied with the look, that is all that really counts.

 

Nice job Jovani The car looks much better that way. Well, I'm getting closer to that look, since the brake dusts make my rims look much darker now

 

I totally agree with you jfh, and white rims actually looks pretty good with yellow Evo too.
